@@GabrielTravelerVideos That link worked. Thank you! Hope your travels are going well, and although early, happy Easter!
@@mardigras0886 Great, good to hear and happy Easter.
That was a fantastic read. You are an inspiration for those with wanderlust. If you dont mind me mentioning. You chronicle so much of your adventures but you rarely if ever tell of emotions you feel, doubts fears or vulnerabilities even fleetingly. Maybe you do this as a protection but at this stage of your journey and with so many people feeling they know you so well I feel it would be nice to express these things incl dare I say opinions and I know you need to be careful there.
Anyway I look forward to more adventures with your channel. Best of luck.
That's good visiting your Dad.
Every Gabriel Traveler video gets a thumbs up👍🏽👍🏽
Yep!

Some up some down. No one's perfect
@ErvuJukl its like the yoyo 🪀of life , up and down, you win 🏆 some you lose some 🤑 💸
@@larsstougaard7097 Typically Danes are not good philosophers, but in this instance I agree with you. 👍
Thanks! I ived in Reno 1988-94. What a great town!
Where are you now? Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
That’s the same timeframe I lived in Reno. I loved it.
Hope you had a good time with your father. That river could look vivaciously spirited during peak springtime.
great walk that inspires, it will be a pleasure to follow your channel and your adventures. hope one day see the country with my own eyes greetings from Sweden❤🎉
good to visit your dad!!!!!
❤
Very cool. I lived in Walker Lake in the early 2000s, Reno was a once a month trip for shopping and fun. I grew up in Dunsmuir CA, up by Mt. Shasta, in the mid 60s through the early 70s. Very nice to see Reno again. Thank you, Gabriel for sharing your travels.
I grew up going to Reno in the 90's me and my family used to go for vacation when it snowed, the casinos were crowded with people, there were a lot more casinos too that closed now. Reno is really not what it used to be. And I miss the Old sign, big and red❤️
Thanks for reminding me about the tokens... I can't believe I forgot. You made me smile. My first time gambling was in Reno in 1991....lol.
I visited Reno in 1995, after some tiresome cycling at Lake Tahoe and camping in really spartan conditions. And then those unlimited $5 seafood buffets in Reno’s casinos 😄 Oh, those were the days.
What time of year? In mid-June of 1995 I was at a Rainbow Gathering in Oregon and caught a ride with some people there to drive to another Rainbow Gathering in New Mexico. The van we were in broke down somewhere in northern California and we ended up hitchhiking into Nevada, through Reno and then on highway 50 heading east. Sounds like we could have almost crossed paths, depending on when you were in the area.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I remember very well that I flew to California right after Jerry Garcia died (August 9, 1995). It was in the news all the time. So, my trip to Lake Tahoe, Nevada Stateline and Reno was around that time, probably till August 20 or so, when I had to move on to Santa Cruz. Backpacking, broken tent, MTB, campsites with bears roaming around and many-many nice people. That trip was very special.
I remember first hearing that Jerry had died. I was on a bus in Alaska going on a camping trip into Denali national park and the bus driver told us. After the gathering in New Mexico I went up to Alaska around the end of July or early August.
Jerry Garcia was CIA.
All the young people of that period of visits of both of you have grown old now. ... Life is impermanent and insignificant....
Awe, so glad you visited your dad and you have a great friend!
Good job visiting your dad, Reno Casino is fun at night, we usually stay at the Silver Legacy😁
What a genius concept of that statue of the two whales, exquisit !
Congrats on 600k subscribers Gabe! You've come a long way from your first trip to Europe over 30 years ago...
Literally.
I’ve been to Reno many times, drunk most of them lol. Hot August Nights were always crazy there
Reno is a great place to reduce stress.
nice intro Gabe; your videos are getting more creative.
Cool, glad to hear it.
I miss Reno so much
Why?
Reno, a great place to hide
Could be interesting combination. Cheap hotel in Reno and skiing and hiking nearby.
What a clean looking city and love there are few people roaming around in that area.
Data services, distribution center for Northern California, gaming: Reno has it all!
I remember winter of 1996, driving to the Grand Canyon from Bellevue, WA. We reached Reno around 2 PM, and were immediately drawn in. Apparently, there was a storm on I 80, so a lot of SF Bay Area Guests did not materialize. We got some incredible hotel deal and Ribs and Steak meals were almost free.
At that point, I was a new import to the US, less than a year (from India), so it was a lot more exciting as it was my first time seeing anything like that. Next day we reached Las Vegas, and realized Vegas is on mega steroids as compared to Reno.
Vegas still had Siegried and Roy, Treasure Island pirate battle, Flamingoes in Tropicana, Lions at MGM - but was a lot smaller in 1996 as compared to what it has become now.
Reno looks pretty quite around this time.
So well traveled, Gabriel. One can only wish. 🙏🏽
always enjoying listing your stories.
Fun to see Reno without having to go there, thanks.
I was in Reno yesterday Gabriel! Wish I would have run into you!
Cool, that's when the video was filmed, on Tuesday.
Dang! We would have taken you to breakfast! 😊
I’ve never been to Reno. Thanks for sharing 😊
Those aren't credit cards you put in the slot machines. They are players club cards. You still need to put cash in the machines to play with. No more coins but dollar bills. You get a tickets to redeem when you cash out.
If you got to Lake St you'll see the original Reno sign
Bless yer little heart Miss Shirley
Did anyone tell you yet that the space whales were a Burning Man installation? They made a home here over 6 years ago now.
I see, good to know.
Hope you're Dad is feeling OK. I remember him being a builder.
Some the Third World places you've visited look infinitely more interesting and alive than present day Reno. Back in my Air Force days we used to have a blast on the weekends. Now it looks depressing. At least there's less litter than Mumbai.
Mumbai has a metropolis population of 25 million people. It's bound to have a litter problem in some areas. NYC is no picnic either. I find it has it's share of litter problems as well.
We have a hideous fish 'sculpture' in Borough of Bexley U.K. to.
Well! He's a traveler so walking and showing around limited places especially midtown Reno. Its actually very beautiful little town with open spaces, mountains, valleys, not crazy traffic. If you are a local then you see the real beauty!! That is one of the main reasons that lot of people from CA moved here and real estate is still pricey despite of prices cutting down most of other places..
Ive been here since 2018. Downtown Reno is the worst part of Reno
Hey Gabe, I love the channel. Have you ever been to Burning Man? I visited Reno for my first time about 10 years ago while passing through to attend the event in the desert.
Nope, never been. I talk about it later in the video.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I caught it now! The whale, if I remember correctly, was on display at Burning Man 2016.
Hey Gabriel! We’ve been watching your channel since the plague, and live in Reno! Griffith Canyon has some cool petroglyphs and is on the way to Pyramid Lake. It’s an easy hike and about 45 minutes from Circus Circus. ✌️
Right on, thanks for watching. ✌️👍
Good of you to go see your dad. Very important for him surely
Love your videos!
Nice city, looks pretty clean and tidy.
I stayed in the circus circus hotel in Vegas, I wonder if it’s similar to the one in Reno,
It’s great your visiting your dad
8:47 Immigrant song slaps! since I've been loving u from the same album is also great.
Hello Gabe from us here in Australia 🇦🇺 we’ve been following and watching your channel a long time and enjoy seeing the world 🌍 with you ❤ thank you. We do pray for you, that you come to know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour 🙏❤️ Jesus is Lord and in Him we have life eternal ❤
Great walk tour👍
The Whale sculpture is called the Space Whale and the Believe sign were both originally art out at Burning Man
More videos form the Reno please 😊
Reno is named after a soldier, I forget his name 😂😂😂😂
Jesse Lee Reno.
Very proper city, and hope your father is doing well
Great us🇺🇲 video once again..i don't care whst ppl.say about Reno it looks Good to me....Any big city has its plus & mines side..
Nice 😊 just got the dji osmo action 4 , can you write down the settings or did you have it on auto ? when recording with the dji osmo action .
I just use the auto settings, at 1080p and 60fps.
Hi Gabriel Again! Can we see you in Turkiye/ Georgia/ Central Asia in recent Future again?
Recent future, I like that. I don't think I will be going to that part of the world soon, but we'll see.
Thank you man... will see wherever you go!@@GabrielTravelerVideos
Hi Gabriel, Neveda is also known for something else the Bunny Ranch legitimized prostitution much like the red-light district in Amsterdam. The other Sierra Mountains in Spain are beautiful as well known for its Bioreserve and Pradollano Ski Resort. I'm so surprised people don't watch the U.S. videos there so many places to see there are beautiful places around the U.S. and ranks third in the world for tourism.
The Mustang Ranch lead to legalized prostitution in Nevada. Not the Bunny Ranch. 2:45 😮😮
I can smell the CAL NEVA from here. The carpet inside isn't classified as flooring any longer. Its now smokable.
Happy Easter 🥚 Gabriel a very mellow town Reno 😊
It's not Easter
@@DeputyDog-mh1yo Yes it was!
@@mr.sts.p You're not right
Reno 911 was so funny, this reminds me of that show :)
Interesting video!
Good content!
Thanks.
Regarding the gambling. Move up limits ;-)
Hey I remember staying in the Circus Circus in Reno in 2009 or around then. And yeah, cant remember much other than that it was indeed an amazing deal and the nature around the city was great. And yeah, im sure they count on you spending some money there. But if you dont, its a great way to save some money.
I was there around the same time and I think I might have run into you, yeah.
Hi Gabriel, Casino hotel is reasonable because they will get more money spenting on games
Interesting to see Reno, been to Las Vegas not Reno. There is a hideous fish 'sculpture' near me to.
Very interesting
Hello fr Philippines
I feel the same about slots, try live poker. It's strategy based and you get to meet a bunch of different people.
Did you ever locate your friend that was an engineer at Apple?
I don't think I know anyone who works at Apple.
oh okay. I thought you said he had worked there.@@GabrielTravelerVideos
i think his name is Abram.@@GabrielTravelerVideos
Okay, yes. There's some good news, here's an update I posted a while ago: ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxC4TMKL4oFU3QQTog0F84jrDFty4-wzB0
everyone in the comments bashing reno has obviously never been or only stayed downtown.
Been several times, nothing has really changed it a dump!
Reno, NV was named after Major General Jesse Lee Reno, a Union officer who died in the American Civil War.
Exactly.
V nice hotel ❤❤❤❤❤
Interesting video
Good place for entertainment
That's one trippy carpet
Hey man, what's your bag?
I'm not digging your vibes man
I hope your dad is ok. 🙏
The best
Looks like Homeless Haven.😂
👍👍👍
"The arch remained unaltered on Virginia Street for the next three decades. By 1963, the community launched a campaign to raise $100,000 to replace the arch in honor of Nevada’s 100th birthday. The old arch was moved to Idlewild Park and replaced with a futuristic model in time for the 1963-64 New Year’s Eve celebration. That arch, modified to reflect its new home, now stands in Willits, California. The arch currently located on Virginia Street was installed in 1987."
I also made a video in Willits, which is where I'm originally from: ua-cam.com/video/B0pFNI9qmxk/v-deo.html
The snakes on Medusa’s head are blessed by you just saying her name 🤫😬
All put together pedestrian friendly downtown
I guess two mayors were playing poker after three beers and two whiskeys and one of them just betted on the arch.
Tourist are living thee life❤
Reno Arch is still up the first Arch is on lake Street and STILL up!!!!!
You probably would have been a good croupier, completely relaxed and unfazed by the players' antics.
"Robbing the cashbox, robbing the cashbox.."
Dammmm that 🍝 looks gooodi
Just checking in if there was a new vlog.
Thanks but nothing new filmed for now, might be a little while until the next one.
Interesting - where are the people...
I miss karaoke at cal neva 😂
That river is the Truckee River BTW.
It's called the Yreka River
Nope. But great guess. It's the truckee. Or trout river in paiute
@@stephenhipp7859 You're hip, we know it, yeah, you're hip, but it's called the Yreka River, yeah.
@DeputyDog-mh1yo just cause some trippers from Salem came over on lsd doesn't change its name. Then again alot of dumbasses think the o on my plate stands for outside reno.
So you have as just right to be wrong as they do
@@DeputyDog-mh1yoLittle Stevie isn't hip, he's hep. He's old school, square. The river is called the Martis River. Little Stevie is wrong, again.
👍
😎🙏💙
Is that the casino from Sister Act? lol
since when do slot machines take credit cards directly?
I have a friend who lives in Sparks. Reno is the ugly stepchild of Lake Tahoe 😅
I was in Reno in October 2022. Boring place. Its proximity to California attractions while just having better Nevada tax burdens is the only positives I could see of living there.
16:31 of course it's 'less swarmed by tourists' - because it's a nondescript shithole.
😊
Say hi to Lt. Dangle for me, hopefully you won't need his services. 😀🚔
😊❤🇧🇦
I lived in Reno/Sparks from 1975-2019 and I can personally say it's a dirty overcrowded lousy weather area of the State of Nevada.Not to mention all the homeless and the roads and freeways, which are in desperate need of repair. Sorry folks, it's really a horrible place to live.
It's insane that that is considered a "reasonable price" for a hotel these days. Especially in a ****hole like Reno... 😅
When are you going to Antarctica?
Is that where your mom is?
